I just got out of a mock meeting with an employee today and my assistant was to present what was needed. It pissed me off because she wrote nothing down that had anything to do with work. She was so unprepared and unprofessional. When I hire someone they go through a probation Period and if your horrible within those three months then I have to let you go. It's only been a few weeks and she's horrible.

She fooled the hell out of me. I thought she was going to be just as enthusiastic and driven as she was in her interview but that ain't the case. I'm starting to see a lazy side and that's not how I run business. When you work in corporate America you act like you are in corporate America. Don't come in here not giving a Fuck because that means you don't care about your job.

I really have to control myself because the old Dave would be quick to come out, I be ready to knock a Nigga out and pull a bitch wig off. I think these people take me to play with and I try to be nice but no more nice. The people in here finna hate me cuz I'm about to be a mean ass man.

"Ms Simmons, do you care about your job?"

"Yea, why wouldn't I." She said sounding ignant

"Then why do you choose to be lazy and act like you don't care. This is a place of business not a bed or your girlfriends house. When you come in here you are to be prepared and pay attention. You wrote nothing down about anything in the meeting."

"I'm sorry sir. It won't happen again. I will do better." She said trying to be convincing

If she think I'm falling for that act then she definitely ain't gone keep this job. I know when somebody of trying to smooth talk their way out of all issues. I'll have HR open up the position in a week.

"You damn right it won't happen again or you can kiss this goodbye right now." I stood up and left her there to think about her actions

Chris had dragged Me to yet another one of these hood functions. I grew out of this shit honestly. Back then I woulda been all for it cuz I was wild. Now I really just be about the business and focusing on landing Deals. If you think selling drugs is hard then you Sally mistaken because that Shit I could do in my sleep. The shit I do now I have to have presentations and plans and great strategy to go along with it.

This party we at is packed as hell and I did miss seeing all my homies from back in the g. I would've rather go home and smoke a blunt but Chris swear I'm uptight and need to relax more. That Nigga be dragging me out the house and I just like being in the comfort of my home. Back when I was living this life of fun and wild shit it was cool cuz I didn't have a care in the world.

"Oh shit. I didn't think Chris wasn't gone really get you out the house." Leonard said dapping us up

"He swear I'm acting like a great grandparent who only watch the stories." I rolled my eyes

"Cuz you are Nigga. You been cooped up in that office and you don't go out or even think about a bitch. It be hella women in to office who be tryna throw Pussy your way and you won't even look at them cuz you swear you ain't got the time."

"I don't have the time. I be super busy. Everybody can't have free time like you."

"I ain't always free and I work long as hours myself but I have an assistant who know what she doing."

"At work or in the bed?" Leonard questioned and I chuckled

"That don't matter. This about his uptight geriatric ass. A woke grandpa."

"I'm here ain't I? So stop complaining." I said taking a jello shot from the tray a bottle girl was passing around

The music was cool but I prefer that old school. I don't even know most of the rappers or artist today. I ain't really tripping cuz I don't know nothing word for word. It's crazy how this cried ain't really my scene no more and I ain't even thirty yet. I think because I was running the streets so young and acting wild I've noticed how I changed. I don't think I've changed forreal but I know that I can't be "East", the Nigga who would shoot first and ask questions later. Don't get me wrong it's still in me Incase somebody feeling froggy but that's not how I live my life anymore.

Tammy had me running around this party talking to hella people. I swear this girl is friendly. I be telling her you can't be friendly with everybody. We supposed to be turning up and getting drunk. I ain't even drunk no more. Her ass sobered me up from talking to these folks that be coming to her job. You know how tiring it is doing all this walking.

"look yo boss over there with his fine ass and he got some fine friends." She said pointing his way

"It's rude to point. Let's go speak and stay over there cuz I ain't moving no more."

"Girl whatever." She waved me off

We made it to Leonard and the minute he saw us he was cussing like he our daddy or some. I am a grown woman and can't nobody tell me how to dress when I'm out. If I wanna look like lovely peaches then I will. I could feel his friend staring at me and the minute I looked in his eyes he was licking his lips. I can't even front, the man is so damn fine.

A twerk song came on and it is only right that I show out. Tammy got behind me and started hyping me up. I turned my head and saw his friend looking at me in a daze. I got in front of him and gave him a view to remember. Before the song went off somebody started shooting. I didn't have my gun so I was terrified. The dude picked me up and we all were running to their cars.

"Wait where is Tammy? I can't leave her." I semi whined

"I'll go get here just sit in my car and lock the door."
